June 13, 2003: My ex and I had bought an apartment in central Gothenburg and we were renovating like crazy. It was a fun and also exhausting time. I was cooking a lot and discovered so much new-to-me food.

June 13, 2004: This is the church where I grew up, I love the architecture so much. The inside is absolutely amazing, I have to go there and take pictures next time I'm visiting Luleå. My dad is working there as a janitor.

June 13, 2005: I had just moved to my own apartment after a very difficult divorce (I loved him so much - after 12 years it's still hard to think about this time). Went through my stuff and found a note from my Latin teacher (when I was about age 17). It says Worried about her behaviour. Restless in class, escapism. Well, I just wanted to go far, far away as a teenager.

June 13, 2006: I had moved in with Johan after a year of living on my own and was sketching on crochet characters. The one to the right later became the Buttcrack Character.

June 13, 2007: Johan's dad gave us a huge cheese. I seriously think I'm addicted to cheese. My friend Eili told me her first memory of me is us sitting in a bar and I pick up a pack of cheese and give her a slice. I learned the other week that cheese in Finnish is juusto. I should change my name ;)

June 13, 2008: Was babysitting Camilla's sweet Morran (RIP) and was trying out my new 50mm lens.

June 13, 2009: Our tiny flat in Gothenburg, the light there was so strange and it was very difficult to take pictures.

June 13, 2010: Johan was baking burger bread and made salmon burgers. They were so delicious! This was our last summer in Sweden.

June 13, 2011: Bang! We had moved to Berlin and took a walk to Neukölln and then back home, enjoying a beer by the Spree river on our way.

June 13, 2012: A walk through Kreuzberg and Alt-Treptow.

June 13, 2013: Watching over our home bar with a crazy face + having coffee on the balcony.

June 13, 2014: Took a walk to Prenzlauer Berg to enjoy some coffee.

June 13, 2015: Blurry picture of Johan and the two loves of my life; Lo & Alice, my kids, my nieces. I wish I could see them EVERY day.

June 13, 2016: Last Summer Johan and I were making stuff for a food market, graphic design, sign design, photography, illustrations etc etc. It was a fun, strange and intense time.

June 13, 2017: Today I've been helping Johan spell-correcting a menu for Gotham Grill in Kreuzberg. I wish Johan would make an online portfolio so I can show you all the amazing stuff he's been designing lately. In the meantime I will snap pictures whenever I can, he's still my favourite designer :)
